Lehighton Va. Lansford-Hazlston.

On Monday last about five hundred spec
tators were treated to one of the finest ex
hibitiens of base ball ever given in Carbon
county. Notwithstanding the fact that oul
club was defeated it required the aid of 9
''crack" pitcher from Hazleton and the UNI
pire to accomplish it, and even then the
Combination team" barely escaped defeat
The game should have stood one to one al
the end of the ninth inning, as three of the
four runs scored were made after three
hands had been put out. The umpire made
several outrageous decisions which the
home team should not have allowed under
any circumstances.
When the visiting club, numbering about
fifteen, arrived, our boys were puzzled tc
know whether they We're TO play Lansford
or the entire anthracite coal region. DAVIS
the manager and hacker of the Lansford
club, thinking that the Lehighton team
was too strong for his team, secured the
Hazleton battery to help them out. But
he was entirely too slow, as our boys got
on to his scheme before the game, and
Healey was not allowed to play, and Hays
was permitted to play only on condition
that he would play in the field. In the
first inning Hays played in right field and
O'Donnell pitched, but as our boys slugged
him, Hays was put in the box, thereby say.
ing themselves from a bad defeat. Oui
players were told to object to him pitching
but they thought it would be no disgrace tc
be defeated by Hazleten professionals and
left him pitch the balance of the game
This contest has demonstrated to facts
first, the borough of Lansford cannot pro
duce a nine that can down ours; second
the Lansford club cannot play square
game. Although Lehighton lost the game
it was no disgrace to the players, and they
deserve the highest praise for the noble and
effective work which they did.

KIND Words from a Former Apprentice.

1t gives us great pleasure to note that
our old ''boss's" Office, the CARBON ADvo.
CATE at Lehighton, has just been equipped
with new Potter power press, similar to
the one in use in the Iader office. We
hope our old friend, Harry V Mortimer,
will soon be able to put steam in the office,
II he has not already done so, and then he
will be fully up to the times. A steam
engine like ours 1-2 h. p. Bookwalter,

NOTHING.

In last weeks issue of the Slatington
Nelos there appeared a lengthy article
heaping abuse upon the Lehighton Base
Ball Club, which among olher falsehoods
contained the following; "they sacrificed
their gentlemanly principles in order to
defeat the Blue Stockings"
The fact of the matter is, our club went
to Slatington and played to win, which
they always do, but not in one instance did
they act ungentlemanly. On the other
hand they were well behaved, orderly and
sober, and won the respect of the best
class of people in Slatington. Trouble has
always arisen through ignorance of the
playing rules on the part of the Slalington
players. In every game that our club ever
played with any of the Slatington clubs,
our boys had to teach them a rule or two.
Let all fair minded judge between the
courteous treatment given the Blue Stock
ing club while playing here, and the shame
full treatment our club received while in
Slatington, an say which party " sacrificed
their gentlemanly principles.

The Town that wants to he Roronpb


The enterprising, go aheadative citizens
of Summit Hill will present petition to the
Carbon county court at its October term
praying that it be granted the privilege of
an Incorporated borough. In this connection
the following item may be interesting read
ing. Summit Hill owes its origin to Jacob
Ginter, who discovered anthracite coal there
sometime during the year 1901. 1t was a
number Of years afterward, sometime during
1918. before operations for the precious min
eral were commenced on systematic
basis. However, at that time the lands be-
came the property of corporation known
as the Lehigh Coal Company, who insti-
tuted settlement and commenced the min
ing and transportation of coal; but the
region being wild and mountainous it re-
quired goodly number of years before the
settlement put on the appearance of an es.
tablished town. Following the history of
Summit Hill, as ii passes from one age to
another, we notice that it abounds with
the usual comlcal as well as serious Incl
dents connected with the establishment of
mining towns. Summit Hill to-day, is no
doubt, far beyond what the early coal
pioneers dreamed it would be. 1t is thirty
ing town, with many possibilities, which
the enterprising citizens can make facts if
they but stick to it. The population of
the town is probably nearly two thousand,
and with its beautiful churches, school
house and many elegant business places
hotels and restaurants, in connection with
the natural curiosties, the burning mine,
the ice cave and the world famous switch-
back railroad, Summit Hill ranks in point
OF popularity far above any town in the
Lehigh Valley.
